Claude glared at Leonard. "There is nothing to explain! You chose to side with Yvonne tonight! I have nothing to say to you!""I got a call from Kendrick just now," Leonard said. "He was the one who asked me to let Yvonne go.""What?" Claude was baffled. "This has something to do with him too?"Leonard shook his head. "I don't know. He wouldn't tell me. He only said that if we want to see him, we'll have to do as he says."Leonard added, "Claude, we have worked so hard to try to meet him. He's offered us the rare opportunity to meet. Are you willing to give this up?"Besides, we don't know why Kendrick is helping Yvonne. If we offend him as well because of this, we will be facing an enemy that we are no match for." By then, forget seeking justice for Jane; they might end up getting killed.Leonard placed a hand on Claude's shoulder. "I know you're thinking of Jane. So am I. But we can't be too impulsive right now. We can't give up what we've been working so hard for."Cla

The second she received the news, Yvonne rushed back to Hope Health Services.Once she got out of the car, she ran all the way to the emergency room, where she bumped into a doctor.Yvonne grabbed the doctor. "What's the situation inside?"The doctor shook his head. "The patient is barely going to make it. Her blood test results just came back. We found lots of theophylline in her system."Yvonne was bewildered. "Who gave her the drug?"Theophylline could lead to severe arrhythmia, which was absolutely fatal for Jade's weak and fragile heart! "Before Jim went into the emergency room, he had instructed a thorough check on the staff who were in charge of Jade's daily medication. We'll soon find out, but …"The doctor sighed. "She might not live to get an answer.""No." Yvonne looked at the emergency room with a burning determination, yet there was no hiding the sadness in her eyes.She had never thought that Jade might not even see Howard for the last time. The universe sure wa

Dr. Jackson was taken away, crying and wailing. His plea for mercy echoed down the corridors. Yet, Yvonne didn't even look once at him.She looked at Stephen. "Thank you.""No need to thank me," Stephen replied. After Yvonne had gone into the emergency room, he stood outside the door alone for a very long time. He hadn't been willing to wallow in his helplessness, so he had headed to check on the theophylline incident.After checking the staff's shift schedule and those who had taken a leave recently, Stephen had only approached Dr. Jackson to try his luck. When he had reached Dr. Jackson's house, he had never thought he would bump into the man panicking and frantically packing.Dr. Jackson had claimed that he was going on a holiday, but he hadn't looked one bit relaxed.Stephen had only pressed on a little before Dr. Jackson had knelt and confessed everything. He had even begged Stephen to let him off the hook.Stephen couldn't have been bothered to deal with him, so he had

Seeing Mark walk closer to Jane, Claude stood up and stopped him. He barked, "What are you doing?"Mark raised the fruit basket in his hand. "I just want to put this thing down. You don't have to be so nervous, Claude. "Those who might not know any better might think that I was the one who hurt Ms. Ford."Mark looked at Jane as he said that. His seemingly friendly gaze had a hint of warning in it.Jane felt chills run down her back. This man was terrifying! No wonder Leonard and Claude had been so cautious of him for so many years!"Claude," Leonard called out. "Mark is kind enough to visit Jane. Don't be so unwelcoming.""He …" Was he that kind?Claude reluctantly stopped himself from saying what was on his mind. He reached out and accepted the fruit basket. "Thank you.""It's not a big deal." Mark looked at Leonard and said casually, "I don't think you two know about this yet, but Howard is dead."Leonard was stunned. "What?""Yvonne took Howard back to Hope Health Ser

Upon hearing that, Yvonne's intense guilt finally subsided. She remained silent for a while before looking at Stephen and smiling. "Thank you for the reminder."All this while, she had been rather emotional due to Howard's death. Luckily, Stephen could always remain sensible.First, he had discovered the mole and then silently stayed by her side. Right now, he was even reminding them not to wallow in self-blame.He was part of the group, yet also a calm observer. He was always ready to pull her back on track.Yvonne was thankful for him. She looked at him with a deep gaze. Jim noticed that and gently left. He was afraid he would interrupt them.After Jim left, Stephen went closer to Yvonne. He raised his hand and touched her face, gently rubbing her eye bags. "You should get some good rest."His voice was deep yet extremely tender. "You're about to go to war. You need to be mentally and physically ready. Otherwise, how are you going to win?"Yvonne touched his palm and smiled.
